Death among subjects is common in observational studies evaluating the causal effects of interventions among geriatric or severely ill patients. High mortality rates complicate the comparison of the prevalence of adverse events (AEs) between interventions. This problem is often referred to as outcome "truncation" by death. A possible solution is to estimate the survivor average causal effect (SACE), an estimand that evaluates the effects of interventions among those who would have survived under both treatment assignments. However, because the SACE does not include subjects who would have died under one or both arms, it does not consider the relationship between AEs and death. We propose a Bayesian method which imputes the unobserved mortality and AE outcomes for each participant under the intervention they did not receive. Using the imputed outcomes we define a composite ordinal outcome for each patient, combining the occurrence of death and the AE in an increasing scale of severity. This allows for the comparison of the effects of the interventions on death and the AE simultaneously among the entire sample. We implement the procedure to analyze the incidence of heart failure among geriatric patients being treated for Type II diabetes with sulfonylureas or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors.
Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) is a popular Bayesian ensemble model used in regression and classification analysis. Under this modeling framework, the regression function is approximated by an ensemble of decision trees, interpreted as weak learners. In this work, we propose a generalization of the BART model that has two main features: first, it automatically selects the number of decision trees using the given data; second, the model allows clusters of…
估计纵向因果剂量反应关系的贝叶斯框架
Existing causal methods for time-varying exposure and time-varying confounding focus on estimating the average causal effect of a time-varying binary treatment on an end-of-study outcome, offering limited tools for characterizing marginal causal dose-response relationships under continuous exposures. We propose a scalable, nonparametric Bayesian framework for estimating marginal longitudinal causal dose-response functions with repeated outcome measurements. Our approach…
内生性检验:一种基于矩的贝叶斯方法
A standard assumption in the Bayesian estimation of linear regression models is that the regressors are exogenous in the sense that they are uncorrelated with the model error term. In practice, however, this assumption can be invalid. In this article, using the exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (ETEL) framework, we develop a Bayes factor test for endogeneity that compares a base model that is correctly specified under exogeneity but misspecified under endogeneity…
自适应实验中策略改进价值的推断
In this paper, we develop an asymptotically normal estimator for the value of policy improvement (VPI) under adaptively collected data. This value, which is defined as the gap between the value of the best treatment policy in a class and that of a baseline policy, gauges whether or not it is worth deploying a personalized treatment policy. Building an estimator for the VPI is naturally more difficult than estimating the value of a fixed policy. This is because, in addition…
潜在类别对处理效应的调节
Many treatments have effects that plausibly vary by latent classes. For example, the effect of personalized video recommendations may be stronger for users who seek a new discovery than for users seeking to rewatch something familiar. In the context of user journeys on digital platforms, we can conceptualize user moods as dynamic latent states that lead to distinct action distributions. Because mood is unobserved, we infer it from a user's pre-treatment actions using a…
重加权分布中选择直接原因的评分方法
Scoring methods based on the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) are commonly used for model selection tasks such as choosing features in a regression model or learning directed acyclic graphs from data. In certain model classes, model selection based on the BIC is consistent. However, since the BIC is based on the observed likelihood function, it does not apply directly to reweighted distributions arising in causal inference, missing data, and domain shift applications.…
